Modere CoQ10: ubiquinol — the superior form of CoQ10 for energy and heart health after 40
Ubiquinol — not ubiquinone
Most CoQ10 supplements use ubiquinone, which must be converted to ubiquinol in the body. Modere uses ubiquinol directly — particularly important for those over 40 whose conversion ability declines.
Essential for statin users
Statin medications inhibit CoQ10 synthesis as a side effect. Research consistently shows statin users benefit from CoQ10 supplementation to counteract fatigue and muscle symptoms.
Powers the heart muscle
Heart tissue has the highest CoQ10 concentration in the body — it beats 100,000 times daily, requiring continuous ATP energy that CoQ10 helps produce.
Why CoQ10 declines with age — and why it matters for energy and cardiovascular health
CoQ10 (coenzyme Q10) is produced naturally in every cell of the human body and is essential for mitochondrial energy production. Production peaks in the mid-20s and declines by roughly 50% by age 80. This decline correlates directly with age-related fatigue, reduced cardiovascular reserve, and diminished cellular antioxidant protection.
Statin medications — prescribed to millions for cholesterol management — inhibit the same enzyme (HMG-CoA reductase) that produces CoQ10. This side effect is well-documented and often responsible for the muscle pain and fatigue many statin users experience. Supplementing with ubiquinol CoQ10 is one of the most evidence-backed strategies to counteract statin-associated CoQ10 depletion.
Ingredients in Modere CoQ10 NZ | Cardiol Blend for Cellular Energy 30 Caps
Shaklee quality — 350+ point testing standard.
| Ingredient | Role | What it brings |
|---|---|---|
| Ubiquinol (reduced CoQ10) | Primary active — cellular energy | The active, electron-rich form of CoQ10. Directly usable by mitochondria for ATP production. Significantly higher bioavailability than ubiquinone, especially in those over 40. |
| Cardiol proprietary blend | Cardiovascular support complex | Proprietary combination of CoQ10 with supporting cardiovascular nutrients — exact composition provides synergistic cellular energy and antioxidant support. |
| Antioxidant supporting nutrients | Free radical protection | Vitamins and herbal extracts that complement CoQ10’s antioxidant role — protecting mitochondria from oxidative damage during energy production. |
How Modere CoQ10 NZ | Cardiol Blend for Cellular Energy 30 Caps works
Ubiquinol absorbs with fat
Taken with food containing fat, ubiquinol is absorbed via the lymphatic system and transported to tissues with the highest energy demand.
Enters mitochondrial electron transport chain
CoQ10 accepts and donates electrons in complexes I, II and III of the mitochondrial electron transport chain — the essential step in ATP production.
ATP powers cellular function
ATP produced with CoQ10’s help powers every cellular process — from heart contraction to muscle movement to cognitive function.
Antioxidant protection
In its ubiquinol form, CoQ10 is also a potent fat-soluble antioxidant — protecting cell membranes and mitochondria from oxidative damage during energy production.

Pro tips
Take with your fattiest meal
CoQ10 is fat-soluble — absorption is significantly higher with food containing healthy fats like avocado, olive oil or nuts.
Statin users — discuss with GP
If taking statins, ask your GP about CoQ10 supplementation to counteract the depletion side effect — many cardiologists now recommend this proactively.
Stack with Antioxidant
Shaklee Antioxidant (34062) synergises with CoQ10 — vitamin E protects CoQ10 from oxidation, extending its effectiveness.

FAQ — Modere CoQ10 NZ | Cardiol Blend for Cellular Energy 30 Caps NZ
What is the difference between ubiquinol and ubiquinone?
Ubiquinol is the active, reduced form of CoQ10 that can be directly used by cells. Ubiquinone must be converted to ubiquinol first — a conversion that becomes less efficient with age.
Should I take CoQ10 if I’m on statins?
Statin medications deplete CoQ10. Many GPs and cardiologists recommend supplementing. Always discuss with your prescribing doctor.
When is the best age to start taking CoQ10?
CoQ10 production declines from the mid-20s — but supplementation becomes most impactful from age 40+ when decline is significant.
Does it help with fatigue?
Yes — mitochondrial CoQ10 deficiency is a common contributor to unexplained fatigue, especially in those over 40 or on statins.
Is CoQ10 safe to take long-term?
Yes — CoQ10 supplementation has been studied for decades with an excellent safety profile.
